Paddles as weapons

(1/2) > >>

Bärentill:
It is quite bad that you cannot use a paddle to defend yourself since the paddle is the weapon of choice for any fisherman. If the player's character is wielding a paddle it is even worse, because taking off the paddle to equip a weapon will waste a whole turn while the attacker can still go on. On the other hand you can fight with something like a rock which isn't exactly a weapon, but you cannot fight with a paddle which has a much longer range and tends to be a better club than a rock.

This seems to be quite irrealistic.

spamgoose:
Same goes for a shovel.

I suspect it's about balancing the tool vs weapon areas in the inventory.

PoisonPen:
In Cataclysm:DDA any object in the game can be used as a weapon to greater or lesser effect.  One of the more entertaining things to do is to beat a zombie to death with a cheese sandwich, a pair of socks, or a dildo.  I think it makes a lot of sense to be able to wield any object as a weapon, though of course you should get rather large penalties trying to bludgeon a Njerp with a dead grouse or a pail of milk.

JEB Davis:
And yes, we should be able to cut down the largest tree in the forest with... an herring!

Mati256:
Yes, I would love this feature. In many occasions I have needed a close range weapon and found I had only a bow and a paddle equipped. Also, It makes sense.
